Default Parts for relocating battery to the rear

I'm planning on relocation my battery to the spare tire area. Can anyone tell me exactly what kind of cable I need and where to get it? Something specific. I'm a little worried of getting charging problems which is a big problem considering this is a street car.

I've read 2 guage welders cable is recommended from any welding supply shop.

Default Re: Parts for relocating battery to the rear

I talked to my Electricity teacher about it at college and he said the cable's diameter has to be big enough to carry the proper amount of current but not too big to drop voltage. That probably doesn't help any but I thought I'd share that.

It may be possible for the weight of the cable to Out-weigh the advantage of moving the battery.

Has anyone done any accurate times before and after?
